Stock Funds

There lies my wallet on my bureau,
Pictures, it has ten….. money zero.

Each night I go out to check my 401K,
..They’re in the barn …eating hay.

Every day they go out to pasture to play whinny and frolic,
Dam, I hope that 401K doesn’t colic !

Oh my goodness, you've reminded me I need to check my own investments. This is clever and funny, Rob, but also a great statement on the struggles in our economy today. Love, Carolyn

LOL! This reminds me of yesterday, when I heard on one of the many radio talk shows that the #1 concern for many of us is that we will outlive our money. Well, it's out of our hands so it's useless to worry. Hope you're well. Always, Annalise
